Translation Team: Please stop doing this...

[Gralna]

I'm pretty sure the head of translating team is Japanese, so it's not like the original intent is getting greatly lost or anything... Get mad at the Japanese writers, not the translators. That's likely how the lore team WANTS those characters to sound.

I got him confused with someone who did a segment at the Tokyo Fan Fest about translating the Manderville song, or something like that. So that's my mistake.

Regardless, the translation team DOES have native Japanese people on it. The whole team isn't just a bunch of Americans who just know some Japanese. No one there is entirely ignorant to the desires of the original writers. If a character speaks in an extremely overwrought nature, it's not because they're being LOLXDSORANDOM, and it's not simple pandering to heavy high fantasy heads. Every character speaks a certain way for a reason.
